    • Abstract:
      After passing the bar, Aboushi worked for Judge Milton Tingling (currently the county clerk of Manhattan as well as the first African American county clerk in New York state) before eventually opening her practice in Times Square, to be joined later by the other lawyers in her family. In fact, the current Manhattan DA sends more people to jail than any other district attorney in New York City. FEATURES TO HEAR TAHANIE ABOUSHI TELL IT, A COURTROOM CAN BE A STRANGE PLACE for a Muslim woman lawyer. While on a trip visiting family in the West Bank in July 2019, and after several people had suggested she run, Aboushi decided she wanted to become the next district attorney of New York County, the official name for the borough of Manhattan.
